I know right? I didn't make sense to me either. But I kinda liked it.

I almost wonder if it's counter-counter-propaganda. Hear me out...

Because China has no probs moving millions against their will they have to spin it back and for their public relations (propaganda) they create a few examples of how the government really cares about rights, etc. These examples would be widely circulated to foster improved feelings for the majority toward their benevolent dictators.

Meanwhile, on the other side of the planet, the American MSM, will try to spin it back by saying they forbid these images and try to ban them. People aren't even allowed to see images of an empty chair - because Tienanmen Square. Oh my aren't they repressive - not like us in the USofA or UK.
